I have done a little C program to get the local time and I used
localtime(3) to do that but I get a not expected output. In
/usr/include/time.h is defined the struct "tm" which one of its
fields is an integer called tm_year for storing the year but
this field show only (at this time) 99!.
Another question is if you have man page for the "time" C function?
on my system I only get the man pages for time(1) command.
My program looks like the following:
...
struct tm *test;
time_t tim;
tim = time(0);
test = (struct tm *)localtime( &tim );
printf("%d\n", test->tm_year);
...
I know that asctime(3) return a string that have the complete
specification of the year (1999) but I would like to use localtime
because it return the day, hour, ..., year in different fields that
you can manipulate. Is this a localtime bug or now there is a
function that get the current century?.. I don't think so but it
maybe would be useful
Thank you in advance!
